Illusion Bonds are a technique for installing Keratin Bonds in a way that makes them appear non-existent in the hair. Keratin Bond Extensions, also known as fusion hair extensions or K-Tips, are small individual strands of hair bonded together with keratin glue in a flat shape. These are then attached to the client's hair strand by strand using minimal heat from a K-tip wand.
Often called Invisible K-Tips, Illusion Bonds are fully customizable to create an almost invisible look. They add length, provide a natural volume boost, and blend effortlessly into your hair—creating the illusion of having no extensions at all!
Carefully installed to protect the integrity and health of your hair, Illusion Bonds are the safest seamless extension method. With proper care, they can last 5 to 6 months depending on the clients Life Style

ARE ILLUSION BONDS
RIGHT FOR YOU?
The Benefit of an illusion bonds is that the install appears to not be an install at all, it's made to appear that there are no extensions or the extensions are invisible. In order for Illusion Bonds to actually appear invisible in the clients hair, a client must have enough density to hide the bonds.
Please understand that DENSITY and TEXTURE are NOT the same thing!
Many clients believe that they have thin hair because it's limp and lacks body. That is FALSE.
You could have a high density with fine hair that would cause your hair to look thin.
You could also have a Low Density and thick strands which makes it seem like you have more hair than you do.​
Density is the AMOUNT of hair strands you have
There are 3 Densities
Low, Medium, or High ​
Texture is the DIAMETER of hair strands you have
There are 3 Densities
Fine, Medium, or Thick (Coarse) ​
Don't Know What you're Density or Texture is?
CLIENT REQUIREMENTS
Here are the requirements a client needs to meet in order to get an Illusion Bond Install.
Even though there are some requirements to book Illusion Bonds, it's ultimately decided on a case by case basis during the consultation.
DENSITY
Medium to High Density Hair
Density determines HOW MUCH hair you'll need for a full install.
It also determines the level of versatility you can have in your install. Lower density’s get less versatility in exchange for more volume.
LENGTH OF HAIR
Earlobe or Longer
You will need enough hair to cover your extensions and also be able to create the style you would like to wear with extensions.​
The shorter your hair is the less versatility you'll be able to get.
TEXTURE
Fine, Medium, or Thick
Texture determines the TYPE of extensions used in your install.
​Texture is not about curl patterns, it's about the weight of the extension matching the weight of your hair so that it blends seamlessly.
HEALTH OF HAIR
Natural Clients ONLY
Your hair must be natural for at least 4 months.
To keep the integrity of your hair, We do not work with relaxed hair as it has already been broken down to its weakest point and adding an extension to it may cause more damage.
If you're nervous about your hair staying straight, you should add a Smoothing Treatment to your service.
Smoothing Treatment
“ The Natural Straightener”
Amino Acid Treatment
A smoothing treatment is an amino acid treatment used to tame your hair. ​
The treatment helps fight against frizz and humidity. It lasts up to 3 months before another one is needed. Smoothing treatments DO NOT take your curls away.
It simply alters your curl patterns and allows your hair to stay straight longer.
​
For example, if you would normally have to straighten your hair once a day, you may not have to straighten it for a week.
Your hair will still be curly , just not as curly as when you started. If you love your curl pattern now,
​
DO NOT GET A SMOOTHING TREATMENT.
​
Your hair will look different once it's in your hair.

GOT QUESTIONS?
-
Can I Bring My Own Hair?We do not allow clients to bring their own hair due to the importance of having quality Keratin glue on the Flat Tip Hair used in the Illusion Bond Install. If the keratin in weak or improperly made, this could impact the longevity of your install. Aside from the Keratin on the Flat Tip hair, the quality of the hair is also very important. We only use TOP Quality Raw Cambodian and Burmese Hair when doing Illusion Bond Installs. We've had our vendor for 10 plus years and KNOW the quality of their hair. You will not be disappointed with the quality of the hair nor our ability to Texture Match your hair to perfection.
-
How does Maintenance Work?There is NO Mandatory Monthly Maintenance. Once you get your K-tips there is no moving up, tightening, re-taping, or anything else! The install typically last for 5 months as long as you take care of your install. You should shampoo your hair as needed. Before you leave the salon you will receive a care guide that explains how to PROPERLY maintain your K-Tips yourself or have another stylist to maintain them for you. If you choose not to shampoo your own hair, you can always book a "Shampoo Service" with us. Maintenance Appointments Price: $175
-
How does the Take Down Work?K-Tips should be removed after 5 to 6 months and should NEVER be removed at home! ​ When it is time to remove your K-Tips you will come into the salon and a special remover is used to break down the keratin on your hair and dissolve the extension and allow it to EASILY SLIDE off your hair! While this process sounds easy, IT SHOULD BE DONE BY A PROFESSIONAL Once your K-Tips are removed, you CAN NOT reuse the hair. You would need to get a new set of K-Tips in order to get them again. You can get a Re-install same day but please note this adds 2 hours to your install service. Take Down Price: $250

HOW TO BOOK ILLUSION BONDS
STEP 1: The Consultation
There is a consultation required to book K-Tips prior to being approved for an appointment .
Consultations are done via text messages. This is purposely done so you and I both have a record of what we agreed upon. Consultations are also used so that I can see your hair.
Your Picture/ Videos
Your pictures are used to SEE YOUR HAIR. That being said, I need to see your hair WITHOUT extensions.
If you don't have recent pictures you can send pictures or videos from the past BUT if your hair has changed since the visual, that does not help. It needs to be a picture and or video that shows your hair as it would be the day of your appointment.
